  • The Missing Link? Found.

    My roommate, Shannanigans, and I both work together at a high volume Pizza Hut in Florida as line cooks. However, both of us work morning shift which means that occasionally we are understaffed and answer phones as well as make the food. On one such day, Shannanigans was flitting between the make-table and the phones and she recieved a very...special call from one of our most memorable customers.

    After picking up the phone, Shannanigans offered the usual greeting that we are required to give which always ends with "How may I help you?"

    Our darling little Einstein replied simply, "PIZZA!"

    Stunned, but not entirely taken aback, my coworker found it in herself to respond, "Um...what's your address?"

    Luckily our neanderthal could at least be guided through that much, but it fell into a ditch all over again when they actually arrived at the ordering stage. Once again, my coworker inquired, "What is your order?"

    Once again, a remark of pure wit, "PIZZA!"

    By this time I was nearly in stitches, but still it continued. Shannanigans at least managed to get the customer to decide on a size before continuing on to toppings.

    The response was different this time, but no less glowing, "MEAT!"

    My coworker nearing frustration and the customer nearing the point of being the ultimate Darwinistic folly, she finally finished the order before coming back to muse over how much God ACTUALLY hated us that day. It's still one of the greatest Pizza Hut stories we have to tell.
    Why did Darwin bother giving us hope?

          hey quit stealing customers from Green Bay

          I swear as soon as we pick up the phone most nights I work that is what we get --> GIMME PIZZA and very very very quickly ramble and mumble an order

          aty least the Turtles knew what they wanted and the only thing was (at least in the very first movie) was getting free pizza from Domino's (while they still had their 30 minute guarantee thing going)

            I wonder if he's the same guy from the other post that was going "STEAK!" I can't remember who posted that.

              Dude, I noticed something as I was driving through Green Bay (both ways to and from the Dells)....

              what the heck is that SMELL????? Seriously, about 10 miles before you hit Green Bay, there's this reeking miasma that doesn't go away until you're 10 miles PAST it. wtf?

                    smelled more like raw sewage, actually... it was NARSTY. On the way home, my boyfriend actually piped up, "we must be coming into Green Bay" when he smelled it LOL

                    Even my five year old knows that when we're getting pizza, she needs to pipe up as to what she wants ON it

                      every now and then some of the farmers spread cow manure on their fields. when I still lived just south and west of Green Bay in Hobart I was surrounded by farm fields. some times if the wind is blowing just right from the west even Ashwaubenon get inundated by the foul cow manure smell for days on end. sometimes it was sickening to walk outside at the gas station I used to work at.

                      it could be the paper mills but I doubt it or it could be the bay itself with the wind blowing right.

                        Probably paper mills. I went to college across the bay from them. The waste from them smells kinda like the farts of a rabid broccoli lover. The waste gets spewed into the air and the water (or at least it used to).

                        Probably other assorted stinky things as well. I should also mention the college was not far away from a slaughterhouse (Packerland Packing)

                          that would be UWGB I assume???? yeah that could be it but where I am a little further south and west the cow manure is my "best" source of foul smellage LOL

                            We have one up the road from our plant, and dump trucks drive past all day carrying waste from it, and that's about what it smells like. Yuck... nothing like walking into work to get a full blast of it when one passes by. The wind behind the truck carries the smell right into you like a punch in the gut.

                              I went to school in Lancaster County, PA and some days the cow manure smell was so bad you wouldn't open the windows if it was 100 degrees out! (No AC in the dorms, of course.)
